Hi guys,
I'm having a hard time with this one. I have about 7 or 8 returns pump that I have tried and none of them ever work according to spec.
For example, I have a Sicce 9.0 which i can get max 1000 GPH out of it. I understand I will lose a bit GPH because of elbows and such but my sump is really not far, like almost next to the tank and shouldn't lose that much power. I also have tried multiple returns on my UV but same thing, the apex flow sensor shows only 1000gph on a return that says they can get 2600 GPH. This is literally a straight shot from my sump right into the UV.
Does pipe diameter matter here? I am still running 1 inch which if google serves me correctly should still be able to do 2000+ gph.
Some insight here would be great.
Thanks r2r
